mepci..."fed's handling of money supply"...au contraire

the fed's handling of money supply had nothing to do with economic expansion, as most of the growth areas which are tech required little or no conventional debt financing...the expansion was due to the requirement of major industry sectors to move into the twentieth century with technology that increases productivity...that was the saturation point...only so much was needed....the fed by raising rates hurt the very sectors that require conventional debt financing...when the rates go up, capital spending is impacted as return on investments get a bit more difficult to justify.

the fed post war has been responsible for recent recessions...greenspan has been allowed this power by the current administration, previous administrations kept a tighter rein on the fed with stronger secretary of treasurys.....when was the last time anyone saw larry what's his name?
